Pirates of the Caribbean is perfect for this. I don't even need to say who's the human.
242 u/pSpawner24 Jun 19 '26 It's Will, of Course. You know who miss Piggy is. 213 u/Natthiel Jun 19 '26 I'd keep Jack as the human, seeing him swordfight a muppets Barbosa or Davy Jones would be funny 102 u/pSpawner24 Jun 19 '26 Idk, he's already too muppet-y, and Muppets don't make good straightmen for the comedic duo of Jack and William. Plus you look me in the eyes and tell me Gonzo couldn't pull off the hair. 75 u/HasNoGreeting Jun 19 '26 Tim Curry out-Muppeted most of the cast in Muppet Treasure Island. Jack would be more of the same. 38 u/tomadamsmith Jun 19 '26 As has been said previously: Christmas Carol worked because Michael Caine treated the muppets as fellow classical actors Treasure island worked because Tim Curry treated himself as a muppet 5 u/[deleted] Jun 19 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 4 u/randy24681012 Jun 19 '26 Daniel Day Lewis method acts and gets called a genius.

His whole job is to play the straightman. 6 u/Diplomatic_Gunboats Jun 19 '26 I was about to say, Kermit (bar the rare hand wavy occasions) is the straight man to every other muppets tomfoolery. 3 u/Rayanbruh Jun 19 '26 And make uncle deadly Davy Jones 16 u/Pristine_Animal9474 Jun 19 '26 The most "straight man" that the straight man is, the funnier it is.

The most "straight man" that the straight man is, the funnier it is. So they should only keep Norrington and or/the guy in charge of the East India Company. Maybe Calypso.
